2003 - Ten Year Anniversary (under construction)
Christmas 2003
Ten Year Anniversary
Well, I guess the well has run dry. Ten years going strong with the greatest Christmas letter you recieve and we got nothin’. Ten years of the most creative stuff you have ever read on the holidays and all we can come up with is this anniversary stuff. I know you are probably thinking that we will just cop out and drop in some of the old letters kinda like they do with sit-coms where everyone sits around and reminices about the old days just so they can run old clips. Let’s see, my favorite letter would be in 1998 “Christmas Conspiracy”. Donna says her favorite one is the ones she wrote. She thinks that is 8 out of the 10. I beg to differ. Isn’t that how it always goes in our letters? A lot of begging and a lot of differing. Anyway, happy tenth anniversary. May there be ten more.
The tenth year brought us lots of laughter watching McKenna grow into a busy toddler that is every day learning the English language. Even though daddy rarely speaks it. She has suprised us daily with her growing vocabulary. There were some tears shed the day she yelled touchdown and Packers. She sometimes manageds to get words mixed up like boot and boob (don’t ask) or meat and feet (again don’t ask). She loves to swim, sing, dance, ‘read’, and torment the dogs. That reminds us of our 1996 letter that Farley wrote...Cue the clips. McKenna also loves to help around the house. Things like cooking and doing the dishes are more difficult for us or easier from McKenna’s point of view. Hopefully she will be this eager to help as a teenager. Daddy is also very proud of her eating habits. Ketchup, chips, and bratwrist are her three favorite food groups. She had her first birthday party which was a huge sucess. She is definitely a little girl she loves to stand in fron t of the mirror and she loves shoes. She has her Daddy’s sense of humor, Mommy disagrees. She laughs at all of daddy’s jokes, the same ones he has been telling for years. Mummy thinks she is just laughing AT daddy.
McKenna also spent some time with all her cousins this year. They had a great time together. Cosin Macy Davis got a kiss from McKenna. Maraiah and Caitlin spent some quality time with her over the fourth of July. Mimi and Papa also had a good visit showing her the birdies in the park.
Mckenna truly is a blessing and we enjoy every minute with her. There is nothing better than a big hug from our little girl, except maybe a kiss to go along with it. We look forward to her development into a big girl. Daddy is already practicing his ‘boy speech’ and Mommy has taught her how to shop with the best of them.
Donna managed to be a Mummy, business woman, and run three half marathons this year. One of these days she will string a couple together to run a full one. Donna has really discoverd the benefits of coffee as she went back to work after a year off with McKenna (this is the part where you ladies in the US get jealous).
